I suspect the reasons are political and legal, rather than practical. The
first version of GMP was released under the full GPL (the Free Software
Foundation's General Public License), which is not compatible with the
license for SSLeay (the project that evolved into OpenSSL).
The first version

I do have GMP v4.1.4 ported, how to tell OpenSSL 0.9.8 to use it?

I am not an OpenSSL developer, but I think I can safely comment
on this based on my own experience. First, GNU MP is another
dependency, and last I checked GNU MP does not run very well or
at all on a number of important platforms. And of course there is
always the NIY syndrome at work. OpenSSL do
Hello openssl-dev,
Did anyone attepmpt a comparison of the speed in the GMP vs BN?
Maintainer of GMP (Torbjorn Granlund) says that his tests show 2~3
times better speed with GMP. Can anyone validate this?
If this is indeed the case - why OpenSSL does not use GMP?

This problem occurs when _MSC_VER=1200. Actually there is no major
platform based on WCE4xx/MIPS. So it can be '#if defined(_MSC_VER) &&
defined(_MIPS_) && _MSC_VER==1200'
I could compile openssl-0.9.8-stable-SNAP-20050810 under these platforms:

Hello,
I have used RSA_private_encrypt instead of using RSA_sign and RSA_public_decrypt instead of using RSA_verify.
For verifying I have compared the hash to complete the verification.
Can there be a problem in this?
What is the difference between RSA_private_encrypt and RSA_sign?

Hi all,
I'm working on an engine for SHA-class MDs and am having problem with
its usage from HMAC_Init_ex().
In the engine I need to malloc() a buffer in _init() method and free()
it in _final().
However HMAC_Init_ex() can be called with 'evp_md' and 'key' arg
